Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a couch when its possible and I try to share the things that I know, at least about Mexico, Guadalajara And Puerto Vallarta, the city I live in... I always try to be friendly and make people feel confortable so they dont miss home or at least not as much... (just in case they do.... ha ha)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great time, It was amazing to learn about other people and their unique traditions, things to do and obvioulsy a free couch. I've learned a lot from them and applied lots of changes on myself realizing mistakes that i had on my behavior that those people tought me and always have good memories about those times... CS is excellent, the nicest people and the most amazing time, ever!

Interests

I'm interested in everything (going out, climbing, partying, hiking, riding bike, walking at night (at least when its not sunny), cooking, i love animals, i like videogames, books, traveling around the world and many other things), I love to learn about new stuff to do and to repeat those that I've already done and enjoyed.
